Twenty years ago, when Chattanooga voters to the polls to elect a mayor and city council, there were 32 names on the ballot.
Only five were women.
In 2008, when Chattanoogans voted on the president, U.S. senators and representatives, state legislators and city council members, there were 52 names on the ballot.
Nine were women.
And Tuesday, when voters decide the mayor and city council members once again, the ballot will be disproportionately male-heavy.
